You could change the separator to '/' with namespaces, but Dovecot
doesn't treat "INBOX/foo/" as a valid mailbox name either. So you
can't
get this changed from Dovecot's side without modifying the sources. Or a
plugin might work too.

I think this would be better fixed in Pine, so that if tab+enter is done
it removes the separator.
